Kikiwest is a trip-hop band formed by Marc Jameson and Jacqueline Gallier. The sound has a rhythmic core of downtempo drum&bass, hip-hop and syncopated breaks, combined with samples from 60s-70s vinyls, standup bass, fuzz guitars, looped textures, flutes, psychedelic randomness. They are all about the balance between groove and melody, using 'pop' elements in a non-pop way, in the same way that bands like Portishead or UNKLE have.
